Imperial edict?
What imperial edict?
So grand?
Liao Qingqing hadn't received an imperial edict for a long time.
She immediately put down the book, slowly stood up, walked to Fusheng, bowed slightly, and said, "I receive the edict."
Fusheng unfolded the imperial edict and read it aloud: "In compliance with the will of heaven, the emperor decrees that I follow the laws of heaven and earth, and I only have virtue. I hope that the sun and the moon will shine on the world and wait for it. Now the Liao family in the capital is gentle and kind, with good morals, caring about the people, and creating eternal merits in the fields... On April 6, the tenth year of Jingli, she was canonized as the empress. Respectfully."
Fusheng read a lot.
Liao Qingqing, Hexiang and others focused their attention on the word "empress".
Empress!
Empress!
Emperor Jingli mentioned the matter of making Liao Qingqing his empress more than once, and even expressed his intention in the court. However, due to disagreements with the court officials, the matter had been delayed. Unexpectedly, it was decided so quickly.
Liao Qingqing was still a little surprised.
He Xiang and others were shocked!
They followed Liao Qingqing, thinking that Liao Qingqing would become Concubine Xi, and they would just follow her and benefit from her. Unexpectedly, Liao Qingqing became the empress.
The empress!
The mother of a country!
Everyone was very excited.
Fusheng was also very excited. Who would have thought that Xiao Liangyi, who was not favored at the time, would become the empress of the Wei Dynasty three years later, the only woman who could stand by Emperor Jingli's side? She
was indeed the woman he favored.
Bah!
Could he say such a thing?
Don't even think about it!
If the emperor knew about this, my life would be in danger.
Fusheng quickly covered his face and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please accept the order."
Liao Qingqing said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
He Xiang quickly went to help Liao Qingqing.
Liao Qingqing stood up and stretched out her hand to take the imperial edict.
Fusheng and all the palace maids and eunuchs knelt down and shouted, "Your servants (servants) pay homage to the Empress, may the Empress live long and long."
Liao Qingqing looked at the people kneeling on the ground with the imperial edict, and said with some joy and excitement, "Everyone, stand up."
"Thank you, Empress."
Liao Qingqing looked at Fusheng and asked, "Where is the emperor now?" "
The emperor is discussing matters in the study, and said he will come later."
"Okay, thank you, Eunuch Fu."
"This is what I should do." Fusheng said very respectfully, and of course he also respected and admired the Empress in his heart, and then said, "Then, I will go back and report."
Liao Qingqing rewarded Fusheng with some things before letting him go.
Then he continued to reward the palace maids and eunuchs in Lisheng Pavilion.
The news of Liao Qingqing becoming the empress spread among the people. Before that, Liao Qingqing was already famous among the people. Liao Qingqing becoming the empress of Wei seemed to be what everyone wanted, and the people were overjoyed - the emperor finally established a queen.
The harem was a different scene. Except for a few self-aware people who were calm about the news, the other concubines were shocked, regretful, sad, or mournful.
Among them, Concubine Liang, who moved out of Linhua Palace, went crazy and yelled in the courtyard. She had been working for so many years, but in the end, the position of empress fell into the hands of others. How could she tolerate it?
She completely lost her usual calmness and gentleness, and became hysterical, which frightened the palace maids. After hearing the news, Concubine Xian, who also lived in a remote place, collapsed to the ground.
She felt that she was finished.
Liao Qingqing would not let her go.
In fact, Liao Qingqing did not think of anyone else at all.
After she put away the imperial edict, she received a series of rewards from Emperor Jingli. She gently stroked her belly, which had not yet bulged, and whispered, "You are really your mother's little lucky star."
He Xiang smiled and said, "That's right, my queen, now the sky is clear, the snow disaster in Dongliao County has been alleviated, and the flood in the south has also been controlled. This shows that it is a blessing."
"Yes, it is a blessing."
"What blessing?" The voice of Emperor Jingli came from outside the door.
Liao Qingqing and He Xiang hurriedly saluted.
Emperor Jingli strode up and held Liao Qingqing's hand.
He Xiang saw this and left with the other palace maids.
Only Emperor Jingli and Liao Qingqing were in the palace.
Emperor Jingli asked, "Empress, how do you feel?"
Liao Qingqing smiled, "Your Majesty, you are really amazing!"
Emperor Jingli asked with a smile, "Why am I amazing?"
"Yes, I am amazing!"
Emperor Jingli smiled and hugged Liao Qingqing, walked to the inner room, sat on the stool, hugged Liao Qingqing and sat on his lap, and said, "I have chosen an auspicious day, and the ceremony of crowning the empress will be held on June 6th."
"So soon?" Liao Qingqing was surprised.
"Soon? I have been preparing for a year." When Emperor Jingli decided that he wanted to spend his life with Liao Qingqing, he had already started preparing for the ceremony of crowning the empress.
"??? Your Majesty, have you been preparing for so long?"
"Of course, Qingqing is the empress, so I have to make more preparations." Emperor Jingli played with Liao Qingqing's fingers and said, "You don't have to ask anything, just come to my side when the time comes."
Liao Qingqing nodded.
Emperor Jingli smiled, and then he talked about the trial field in Zhuzhou today. Emperor Jingli asked, "Have you heard about it?"
Liao Qingqing nodded, "Your Majesty, I heard about it after you left the palace."
"Do you know how many kilograms of potatoes were produced in the trial field?"
"How many kilograms?"
"Guess." Emperor Jingli looked proud.
The potatoes were grown by Liao Qingqing. Although she didn't know what the potatoes in Zhuzhou County looked like, they shouldn't be too bad. After a little thought, she replied, "One million kilograms?"
"Yes, at least one million and one hundred thousand kilograms."
"So much!"
"Yes, so much!" It was obvious that Emperor Jingli was particularly delighted by this number. He reached out and rubbed Liao Qingqing's hair, feeling deeply moved. Since he took over the Wei Dynasty, his understanding of crops was that the yield per mu was 200 to 300 kilograms. He tried his best to increase the yield, but the results were minimal. However, Liao Qingqing solved this problem.
The yield per mu exceeded 1,000 kilograms, which was five times the amount.
How many people will be saved!
Emperor Jingli said, "Qingqing, you are so proud of your contribution."
Liao Qingqing said, "Your Majesty, please don't compliment me so much. I just like to grow vegetables and I just happened to find potatoes by accident. I don't deserve any great contributions or eternal merits."
"I said you deserve it, so you deserve it."
"..."
"Look, once potatoes appear, those stubborn court officials will no longer dare to say that you can't be the empress." Emperor Jingli said.
Liao Qingqing didn't expect that potatoes were so powerful. She was probably the first woman in history to be pushed to the throne by potatoes.
Potato Queen!
Thanks to potatoes!
She looked at Emperor Jingli and asked, "Where are those potatoes?"
"Take them back to the treasury." Emperor Jingli said.
"Not give them to the people?" Liao Qingqing asked.
"Here, 300 kilograms per household, plus 100 kilograms of potato seeds."
"Then will the rest be sent to Dongliao and the south?"
"Yes." Emperor Jingli said. He was originally worried about the food problem in Dongliao County and the south. This batch of potatoes really solved the urgent problem. There has never been such a quick solution to a natural disaster. I don't know how many lives have been saved.
Emperor Jingli was in a good mood.
Liao Qingqing said: "Then don't send my 100 mu of potatoes."
"Why?"
"Keep the potato seeds, plant them in two months, and harvest another crop in autumn." The soil in the Wei Dynasty is very special, it seems to be extremely suitable for potato growth. Two crops can be planted a year, especially the autumn crop, the harvest is particularly large.
"Yes, I almost forgot about this, let the whole country plant potatoes." Emperor Jingli wanted to make the world free of hunger in an instant.
"No."
"Why?"
"You still have to eat some wheat and rice, otherwise the nutrition will be unbalanced and your body will have problems." Liao Qingqing said.
Emperor Jingli nodded repeatedly.
"And..." Liao Qingqing paused.
Emperor Jingli asked curiously. "And what?"
"And the potatoes we have left are only enough to plant more than a thousand acres." Last time, we were able to get a thousand acres of land, but we almost dug up all the umbrella flowers in the northwest.
Liao Qingqing's words brought Emperor Jingli back to reality. He thought for a moment and said, "Then leave more potatoes and plant 5,000 mu. Leave more potato seeds next year and gradually spread them throughout the country."
"Will it be enough to transport them to Dongliao County and the south?"
"No, when I catch two corrupt officials and confiscate their property, it will be enough." Emperor Jingli said very easily.
"???" Why do you say it as easily as catching two little birds?
"It's decided!" Emperor Jingli said.
Liao Qingqing nodded heavily.
Emperor Jingli hugged Liao Qingqing's waist and said guiltily, "Qingqing, I have been too busy these days and haven't been able to accompany you well." "
I understand."
"Qingqing is so good." Emperor Jingli kissed Liao Qingqing's cheek gently.
Liao Qingqing smiled and hugged Emperor Jingli's neck.
"Your Majesty, Empress, dinner is ready." At this time, He Xiang's voice sounded outside the door.
Emperor Jingli frowned slightly.
What's wrong with this He Xiang today?
Isn't it just a night out?
Why did she come to inform?
Didn't she see that he was being intimate with Liao Qingqing?
Can't we have dinner later?
Emperor Jingli looked at Liao Qingqing unhappily.
After Liao Qingqing responded to He Xiang, she said, "Your Majesty, I'm hungry."
Emperor Jingli immediately changed his expression and said in a gentle voice, "Then let's have dinner first."
"Okay." Liao Qingqing got up from Emperor Jingli's lap.
Emperor Jingli stood up with his hands on the table. His fingers touched something. He turned his head unconsciously and saw that it was a flat bamboo box.
When he looked away, he saw a pair of small red tiger-head shoes in the flat box. The shoes were embroidered with patterns and were very cute. He reached out and picked one up and asked, "Qingqing, what are these?"
"Shoes." Liao Qingqing took a look and answered.
"What shoes?"
"Shoes for wearing." Liao Qingqing said.
"Who wears such small shoes? They are not even longer than my fingers." Emperor Jingli compared the shoes with his fingers. They were indeed not as long as his fingers. He smiled and pulled them, thinking it was very funny.
"It's for children." Liao Qingqing said softly.
"Children--" Emperor Jingli paused, as if he remembered something, and suddenly raised his eyes in shock and looked at Liao Qingqing.
Liao Qingqing had always wanted to tell Emperor Jingli about her pregnancy, but things had been happening one after another recently, and Emperor Jingli was so busy that she didn't take it to heart. Only now did she suddenly remember to tell him.
Emperor Jingli's eyes slowly moved to Liao Qingqing's belly.
Liao Qingqing gently touched her feet and said shyly, "Your Majesty, I'm pregnant."
Emperor Jingli's brain "boomed", as if something exploded, and he asked a stupid question: "My?"
Liao Qingqing: "???" Does green hat smell good? Forced to wear?
"My child!" Emperor Jingli took a step forward to Liao Qingqing and wanted to hug her tightly, but he was afraid that he would be too rough and hurt Liao Qingqing and the child. He was so excited that he was at a loss. Finally, he held Liao Qingqing's hand tightly and asked: "Is it true? Are you and I really having a child?"
"Yes." Liao Qingqing smiled and nodded.
"Then, then..." Emperor Jingli was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He said incoherently: "Hurry up and let the imperial physician take a look at you."
"Several imperial physicians have come."
"How is it?"
"The pulse is very good."
"That's good. I will summon Concubine De and let her worry more about the affairs of the harem. You--"
"Concubine De knows."
"Oh, Concubine De knows. Then we will tell mother and make her happy."
"My mother knows too." Liao Qingqing said.
Emperor Jingli tasted the sour taste and asked: "Madame Chang also knows?"
"Yes." Liao Qingqing nodded.
"Your mother also knows?"
"Yes." Liao Qingqing nodded.
"Your father also knows?"
"Yes." Liao Qingqing nodded again.
"Only I don't know?" Emperor Jingli asked in disbelief.
The author has something to say: _Emperor
Jingli: I feel that I am not important at all.
Emperor Jingli: I can't feel the true love of the world.
